Great Healdsburg House

"Our group of old college friends stayed here for our friend's wedding weekend. Renting a house is such a better experience than a bunch of hotel rooms - seriously, there's no comparison. Arbor Bench is a great house for this (or any other) purpose. It's private, quiet, and very well-appointed. We never did make it to the pond, but if I were here with kids, I'd be all over it. I highly recommend this property!"

Wonderful Birthday Weekend!

"Our extended family just spent a near-perfect weekend at Rancho Wikiup. Even when it was raining, there were always fun things to do. Wikiup is perfectly equipped, with toys for kids, a pool table, and a secluded hot tub. The kitchen works well for a big group. Conveniently close are stores and hiking. We held a treasure hunt mostly on the spacious grounds, and it was a blast because three teams could be looking in different places without seeing much of each other. Beds are all comfortable. This is a unique, very special place- it would be hard to find a better sport for a group getaway! We look forward to a future stay at Rancho Wikiup."

A sublime rime

"About thirty of us, family and friends gathered at Anvil for the celebration of eight anniversaries (1974 for the earliest, 2010 the most recent) and the engagement party of my daughter and her fiance. Our weekend was the perfect blend of enjoyment, relaxation and stunning natural beauty. Though we were there in early November, the weather was sparkling with temperatures warm to cool. Moonlight scavenger hunt formthe children, daytime hiking, boating and hot tubbing for the adults and an epic night of Mexican boxcar dominoes were the highlights of our visit. Our first night we dined on the front lawn and danced in the courtyard while the full moon rose over the vineyard. The second we dined on Sam's signature pizzas from the wood burning oven in the vineyard itself. Shannon and Sam saw to every detail to insure a magical time for all our guests. The engaged couple have chosen Anvil for their wedding venue so we will return in November 2016.
From the fresh mountain air, the cloud filled valleys around the property in the early morning and the richness of the sunsets, Anvil is a treat for the senses. The guest house and the carriage house rooms were clean, comfortable and bright with thoughtful touches. The kitchen and dining areas are spacious. There are plenty of cosy little niches indoors and out for private moments and quiet conversation as well as plenty of big fun sites."

Excellent stay at cottage

"The reviews are accurate as well as the pictures. It is a small cottage, so don't get any Misconceptions and the bathroom is very tiny. However, for a four night stay for the two of us, it was perfect. Owners were accommodating yet not intrusive and I felt immediately comfortable. The gardens are incredible and no picture could do them justice. Loved the views of the vineyard. We spent every evening on that deck and enjoyed the evening breezes and mild temperatures. Felt very private and quiet. We would come back here again without question. Love having the directions laid out to to us for walking to town or driving to Safeway. Although I have to say that walking to town was a bit of a challenge as the traffic on Bailhache can resemble a raceway at times and there is no sidewalk, just a soft shoulder. We would probably not attempt that again. We were late arriving on the first day and having a bottle of wine awaiting us as well as coffee for the next morning was a life saver. Highly recommend a stay here."
